Los Angeles, September 2, 2012 - Today, Infinity Seven is proud to announce the addition of its newest player, Brandon "KoMA" Spinosa.
Representing Canada, the 15-year-old Terran has been playing games ever since he was a young child. In June we saw him qualify for WCS Canada in Toronto, where he made it to the round of 24.
The passion and dedication we saw in Brandon made us believe that he will fit the team perfectly, having the motivation to succeed and the potential to do so. Expect to see him make waves in the scene in the upcoming months as he evolves. Below you can find a few words from KoMA on joining the team.
Brandon 'KoMA' Spinosa
Hey guys, thanks for allowing me to join such an awesome team, I am truly excited to be a member of Infinity Seven. You guys were so welcoming, I already feel like part of the family. I'm looking forward to practicing very hard and showing good results in the near future. I really appreciate being given this oppurtunity and I promise I will impress!

I would like to know this too...

It's relative. We're only kids 'til 18, so 15 is quite old for a child. :p
He's under half my age though.. and that makes me feel old too. Who am I trying to kid.. I am old.

Wait, he's at least a young teenager! There are only so many words to describe the generations prior to his age..
In any event, congrats!

If your signing 15 year old terrans, why not Xenocider? He beats idra, huk, ragnorak, etc in tournaments.
|
so did they go through this with his parents? I dont like signing teenagers at all bc i think gaming distract them from finishing school and basic education :-/

I'm certain that legally, they are required to gain parental approval. I agree it could distract from his education but in the end, it's their choice.
Congratulations Koma and iS!

koma was with frater infinitas, did he leave them or did iS hijack him?? i'm guessing he wasn't under contract with frater though.

Koma is 15?
I'll never have a chance of joining now! 18 is too old

What happened to CrazyMoving? Such a talented player

KoMA knocked me out of WCS Canada qualifiers...I feel worse now that I know he's 15 
Gratz KoMA
|
Do you need parents permission to sign a minor in canada?
|
Huh, knowing him by proxy I guess I'll have to congratulate him through that proxy, lol
GL to him, I haven't seen much of his play, but if iS feels he'll be a good fit, more power to them.
|
Welcome, welcome
|
Seems like iS is trying to develop NA players.
|
He beat me in first round of WCS Canada. Good player, great team, and Pyre's my hero :3
|
What happened to crazymoviNG? I didnt see him on the roster

TLPD is such a wasted statistic that people shouldnt even look at unless the player is a true pro(playing in leagues like GSL or stuff that is constantly recorded), As majority of your games dont even get recorded there. for example im like 1-14 but ive had a positive win ratio at every mlg and yet only my losses from pros show up, never my wins.
Koma is a really strong terran though.

sick 6% winrate son! LOL :D
Honestly though I would like to say TLPD isn't all a wasted statistic, they generally stay pretty consistent with what gets entered in there, MLG's only start from winners round 2/losers round 3 generally, otherwise there would be hundreds of gold/plat players in tlpd with 2 or 4 losses every single mlg.
but I agree you can't really use it to judge a player alone, it should only be a tool to help judge imo.

Played him on ladder the other day^^ Lost terribly, but oh well Gratz Koma, goodluck!!

Can anyone provide an answer on CrazyMoving? It's been asked like 35 times...

At the end of the day, he's only 15. We really can't start putting down and judging players based on statistics at such a young age. It's not like he's gone full time pro and in his 20s.

Crazymoving retiring? Might be while he also dropped out of NASL.
Congrats to KoMA.
|
Oh damn. iS may well be my favorite team now. Pyre, who is the most epic bastard on the planet for supporting Nathanias, Axslav, one of the oldest progamers out there, jEcho, who is just a baller in general and now a 15 y/o terran with an awesome name like Koma.
|
Congrats to Koma and iS! I really like all these young Terrans out there ripping up the foreign scene!

Think he just went inactive because of school. He kind of disappeared a while back so it seems like hes been inactive for awhile.
